This machine cuts various fruit (apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, persimmons, oranges with skin, kiwis, pineapples) into ring-slices and cores them if required. It is therefore perfectly suitable for preparing fruit for drying and for producing fruit slices for the confectionery and baking industry, for fresh fruit salads, for the snacks industry or for fruit preserves. It may also be used for simply coring apples or pears.
